She's becoming very playful. I take it as a good sign, when she first showed up she'd slink into the house and then find a corner to sit. Now she'll dog my feet, or play hide and seek under the chair I'm sitting on. Cracks me up.

None, yet. I'm trying not to alarm her. At this point she just bats around stuff she finds and I made her a toy out of aluminum foil. She also loves to run through the house and jump on the couch, bat at something only she can see then run the other way through the house. LOL

The site's kind of slow - at least for me - but ought to prove at least a tad interesting for certain peoples here... CM, for example.

When she does relax enough for you to buy her toys, you absolutely must take pictures or a video of her playing with them.

What's kinda sad is how she wants to be pet, then shy's when we try. She'll rub up against us, or climb on our laps, then when we reach down to rub her she moves away.

She wants to be loved, but doesn't trust us enough right now to let us.

Even though "very thin," it's still a reminder, a battle scar from your fight with death - a battle that you've at this point won, though we all eventually succumb. You've held the old scythe-bearer off yet again, and will get the opportunity to battle him - and beat him - a few more times over the years. Wear it proudly, as an emblem of your success and your determination.

Cool beanz. Don't know the details, of course (and don't need to), but I *do* know that winning is much more fun than losing. Congrats!
